Baal 117 Report post Posted April 23, 2015 The second one looks better. But I think the first one could be improved by cutting it a bit. Maybe crop the bottom and right edges, so the busts are not centered and the sockets and lightgem aren't in the picture anymore. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Noordung 45 Report post Posted April 23, 2015 Day missions are scarce in TDM, so I wanted to show what my current WIP looks in daylight. The mission -of course- will be set in the dark, I just needed this shot for the briefing. i wouldnt mind playing day mission for a change. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dunedain19 164 Report post Posted April 26, 2015 (edited) @Moonbo: 2nd version. It's more mysterious! This is the little monster that I've been working on, it's still not completely finished but nevertheless - I hope you all enjoy. As you can see by the FPS counter, I'm having some slight performance issues - but this will be ironed out by release.

Springheel 4467 Report post Posted April 26, 2015 Very nice! I like the colour scheme, but the floor looks considerably more ornate than the rougher walls and metal cross-beams suggest. 1 Quote TDM Missions: A Score to Settle * A Reputation to Uphold * A New Job * A Matter of Hours Video Series: Springheel's Modules * Speedbuild Challenge * New Mappers Workshop * Building Traps Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
demagogue 1149 Report post Posted April 26, 2015 I like it. Actually the floor could work IMO if it had a grime decal on it. 1 Quote What do you see when you turn out the light? I can't tell you but I know that it's mine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dunedain19 164 Report post Posted April 28, 2015 (edited) Very nice, Dragofer! Is that a custom chair and a light, I spy in the first image? If they are, I know the perfect places for them in the scene seen ( ) in my above post - would you kindly consider PM-ing them to me at some point? Both images look great, but perhaps you might consider a different wall texture for the first image? For my own part, I've always used it as a trim texture (as in the first image at http://forums.thedarkmod.com/topic/10003-so-what-are-you-working-on-right-now/page-244 ) and a stone texture could give the room a really different aesthetic. Just my opinion, though - keep up the excellent work! Edited April 28, 2015 by Dunedain19 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just my opinion, though - keep up the excellent work!Thanks and sure, everyone is free to use my patch creations if they like There are 2 custom chairs, and both the hanging and standing gaslights are in the first shot. The gaslights aren't technically implemented yet though. The glass texture (colorme) looks like it's selflit (see standing light on the right) in the dark, so I'd like to change it to the one of the existing gaslight. Stims/particles and frobbing need to be set up too. Plenty of work to do, for now it's a placeholder. Now that you say it, the vertical boards look quite broad. Stone is a good idea, but that's off-limits in this place, especially this high up Edited April 28, 2015 by Dragofer 2 Quote One Step Too Far | Down by the Riverside | Perilous Refuge | Dragofer's Soundcloud | Dark Ambient Music & Sounds Repository | The Trap Workshop Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SteveL 1042 Report post Posted April 28, 2015 Stone is a good idea, but that's off-limits in this place, especially this high up Thank you for this detail! I don't know why it bugs me so, but seeing stone walls supported by wood or even plasterboard in games makes me wince! I'll join the chorus in saying nice light by the way You don't look like you need any help, but I've been studying materials for a while now so if you have any trouble tweaking it feel free drop me a line to see if I can come up with any ideas. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dunedain19 164 Report post Posted April 28, 2015 (edited) ...seeing stone walls supported by wood or even plasterboard in games makes me wince! Which is why my wood boards are physically separate from the stone walls, acting as cosmetic wall trim and not as structural support for the wall itself. The higher one climbs in my WIP (and incidentally, goes lower), there is less wood and more stone (well...except for the roof in one area...)

Airship Ballet 879 Report post Posted May 6, 2015 Aw man, I love the elevated skybox houses in the background. Gives a neat sense of scale to the place.I'm getting Lord Edmond Entertains vibes from that street view.That building on the left in the first picture reminded me of the machine room on the river in Hammerhead. I remember loving that the whole level was built around the water. Probably wouldn't be viable with this engine, though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Melan 1801 Report post Posted May 6, 2015 It would be viable with a little careful planning and quays or buildings breaking up sight lines. Mandrasola offers good lessons on building a waterfront. 2 Quote Come the time of peril, did the ground gape, and did the dead rest unquiet 'gainst us. Our bands of iron and hammers of stone prevailed not, and some did doubt the Builder's plan. But the seals held strong, and the few did triumph, and the doubters were lain into the foundations of the new sanctum. -- Collected letters of the Smith-in-Exile, Civitas Approved Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
